Chapter 265
Like a shooting star, the dark blade intercepted the ball of strange light spat by Azure Dragon, even without the orders of its master, the blade made a move of its own .
Arthur had long since known that his blade and partner, Makaze, is sentient, although it cannot municate with him using words, he can sort of understand what it wants through their bond .
The blade had a strong affinity toward the darkness-attribute, moreover, it seemed to be unaffected by the consuming effect of the Dark Magic, in fact, it is strengthened by it and always wants to be covered by it .
Furthermore, he had fed it countless blade, he let Makaze devour swords of all shapes, be they high ranked or low-ranked . It's been a while since the dark blade had abstained from devouring any swords for no apparent reason, Arthur urged it many times but the katana was unwilling as if it was feeling full, which is a strange phenomenon since it never happened in the past .
Makaze clashed with the big ball of light, unleashing an absurd amount of dark flames as it vibrated intensely, not letting the ball of light advance even an inch . A buzzing sound started emanated from the blade as it made its way through the ball, penetrating it with a little bit of effort, it dived all the way to the back of the ball of light until the Azure Dragon became useless as the violent energy dispersed in all direction, no longer targeting Arthur in specific .
Arthur stared at the floating blade with a plicated expression, Makaze had been with him since the very beginning, never leaving his side and always aiding him in every desperate situation, although not like now, but its help is undeniable, it boosted his power by a lot .
Its origins were mysterious but he didn't care about that, an unbreakable connection has already been formed between him and this strange dark blade so he could feel its anger without looking at it .
The ball of light that was just resisted is no mere attack, along with executing four waves, the blade was in no better shape than Arthur, especially after forcefully fending off the last attack of the Azure Dragon, yet here it is, contrary to its master, floating alone in the air, facing the four Divine Beast .
It was a ical yet strange sight to behold, four legendary beasts glaring at a minuscule blade, the Azure Dragon was unhappy as twisted its body and headed straight at the blade with lightning speed, wanting to break it once and for all .
Arthur panicked as he saw this, he struggled to stand up and stabilized his body, Makaze bought him precious seconds that allowed him to recover for a bit but once the dragon breath ended, the lurking white tiger no longer suppressed itself, with a speed faster than its dragon panion, it appeared near Arthur, ready to tear him into pieces .
Unlike its previous normal attacks, it didn't just slash with its claws as after receiving the full-blunt attack of the thunder sword, it knew that this human was more troublesome than expected .
Facing the ining white tiger, which opened its mouth and spat strange white acid, Arthur used [Faster Than Death] to teleport a distance away only to see the tiger waiting for him with a ferocious look . The strange white acid was unavoidable at this point so Arthur unhesitatingly used [Golden Nova], the powerful skill that belongs to the Holy Arts . Although there is a strong chance that it'll attack the user, it is indeed a powerful defensive skill that can certainly block the attack of the white tiger .
He is in a very desperate situation, the dragon breath thoroughly tired him and brought him yet a step closer to the doors of the death, if not for Makaze then he would have used [Death Binding], which is the last resort for Arthur, moreover, it only lasts a few seconds, even if he used, he wouldn't have survived the continuous attacks ing from all the other parties .
As the Sixth Chapter of the Holy Arts was unleashed, contrary to Arthur's expectation, it wasn't a bright humanoid figure with a tall height and a golden aura around it, quite the contrary, in fact, this silhouette was surrounded by a dark fog, a sinister aura was emanated from within a fog as dark shadow jumped out from this darkness, fearlessly meeting the white tiger head-on .
The dark shadow emitted a cold maniacal laugh, similar to madman's as it violently punched the white tiger, not caring one bit about the white acid which landed on it and turned into steam in a split second as if it was purified by the looming dark fog .
Arthur was startled for a moment but he didn't focus too much on the details, he never tested this skill because he was a bit skeptical but he was forced to execute it due to the dire situation, now that he looked at the dark shadow, he was certain that it was affected by his Dark Magic in some way or another .
…
A distance away from Arthur and the white tiger, the dark blade Makaze vibrated intensely as its sharp tip was pointed at the twirling Azure Dragon, which was heading straight at it . Its two deep and abyss-like eyes were glaring at Makaze, attempting to break it using merely its soul attacks but the blade was soulless to begin with, so such attacks were useless .
Sensing what's about to e, Makaze emitted a chilling cry as a thick pillar of dark light rose from the blade all the to the gloomy sky, dispersing the clustered clouds above .
The pillar of light was acpanied by an ominous and uneasy aura that stopped the Azure Dragon from its tracks, even the quiet turtle floating in the back seemed to take notice of this pillar .
Just as it sensed extreme danger and wanted to alarm the Azure Dragon, it was, unfortunately, a step too late as countless dark lights appeared from within the thick pillar and headed right at the dragon, stabbing it from all direction .
The speed of these dark lights was faster than even the white tiger, they could barely be seen as they flew with mind-numbing speed and stabbed the dragon from all direction resulting in an angry yet painful wail from the unprepared dragon .
Upon closer look, these countless lights were actually swords, they were in all shapes and sizes, each had a unique aura emanating from it, some were rusty while others were golden swords embedded with precious gems, some were even broken, however, even those managed to stab the dragon, causing blood to gush out and more painful and agonizing cries to be heard .
